A few days ago I was reading an article in the “Corriere della Sera” (a local newspapaer) about “fruits and vegetables: 10 servings a day would save 7.8 million lives a year. ” I will say that it is nothing new, but recent research has uncovered and quantified also that the more fruit you eat the better = 10 servings of fruits and vegetables per day (about 800 g in total) would be able to prevent a ben 7.8 million premature deaths every year worldwide. Experts have estimated that-compared to those who do not eat their own fruit and vegetables-who consumes 200 grams a day reduces their risk of cardiovascular diseases by 13% and cancer by 4%; 800 g daily reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases by 28% and cancer by 13% and these same quantities reduce the risk of premature death by 15% and 31% respectively.

The article sparked my interest and I wanted to share with you a nice idea and, above all, healthy: fruit platter.

After the statistics, I made this reflection: food is eaten first with the eyes and then with the mouth … so it is very important to take care of the aesthetics of the plate. Don’t tell me you’re not tempted to take a piece of fruit from this cutting board which may be on all boards (you could even use it as a centerpiece).
